  Comments:
One variant of this which I could not find here is 魔法杖, "magic wand" (まほうづえ).  I believe it is more often written as "魔法の杖", but the single compound is also used.

I suppose "魔法の杖" could also be an entry, along the lines of the entry for 魔法の絨毯 or 魔法のキノコ.

  Comments:
That edit won't work because Text Glossing uses a separate hand-made file for kana-only strings. The WWWJDIC docs explain it: "sequences of four or more hiragana are matched against a small file of words and phrases typically written in kana alone. Only exact matches are reported."
I have added this gloss to the かかる entry in that file.
Thanks for pointing out 斯 is not 常用漢字. I've added "uk".

Added the kana to the headword so that this entry comes up when using "Text

Transliterated, yes, but as a word it's simply not used in Japanese. If a Japanese person wanted to write about Engrish, they'd write "Engrish", not イングリッシュ.

It could correspond to Engrish. 

If you look here, Engrish is transliterated as "イングリッシュ": https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/イングリッシュ

But I agree that it's probably very uncommon.

Added sense. Often used as a regular noun to mean "English language".
I don't agree with "Engrish" sense. The joke doesn't work in Japanese, which is why of the title of the Japanese Wikipedia article is "Engrish", not イングリッシュ. I suggest we drop it.

  Comments:
Yes, that other つ was put in by one Rene Malenfant in September 2007.
My initial inclination was that they shouldn't be merged. Daijirin keeps them in separate entries (it has 5 for つ). Kojien has an omnibus entry, with that つ at the bottom after the usual list of 万葉集/平家物語/源氏物語 arcana. Then I saw that for single-kana entries we always merge them. So probably best to do it here too.
I have added it to the "other" つ (pending).

just realized there's already an entry for つ as an archaic possessive.  should this
